I'm on geniuine Windows 8.1.
I've been trying to get this to work forever now. According to the installer, it's downloading but when I click "View progress" it opens Windows Update which says "Looking for updates" and then after a few seconds Windows Update just force closes, causing everything to flash and explorer.exe to restart. I do not know why I cannot get this to download, I've restarted my computer several times and it just does the same thing everytime I try. Is anyone experiencing the same thing as me, and is there a fix? If I open Windows update from the control panel it just shows that it's actually doing nothing, not even searching for updates.

Try doing this:
wuauclt.exe /updatenow
. Press enter.Check Windows Update to see if it's downloading. If not, make sure that Automatic Updates are enabled. If it's still not working, run this troubleshooter, then try again.
